It's the day before the presidential election in the good 'ol US of A so here comes the Full Metal Hipster Election 2016 Special! I know a lot of people don't like to mix politics and metal (as if they haven't been intertwined since the very birth of metal); if that's you, maybe just skip this episode because it's roughly 35 minutes of me raging against Donald Trump with some music thrown in for good measure. My politics shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who's listened to the show for a while, so, if you're a Make America Great Again type, just keep your opinions to yourself. I assure you I'm not interested in hearing them as I have plenty of Trump supporters in my personal life. That being said, I hope those of you who listen to this episode get fired up to vote on Tuesday because it's your mother fucking civic duty!

Thanks for checking out another episode of the Full Metal Hipster podcast, listeners! This week's episode is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I got the chance to speak with Ivar Bjorson of Enslaved (Facebook) and it ruled! I'm assuming you're already familiar with Enslaved.

Good day, everyone! Originally, this episode of Full Metal Hipster was going to feature an interview with Shawn Pelata who's the vocalist for Final Sign (Facebook) - a traditional/power metal band from North Carolina. I also had a giveaway planned for two copies of the cassette version of Final Sign's album Hold High the Flame. Unfortunately, a large portion of the interview's audio file was messed up to the point of being unlistenable. I'm doing a second interview with Shawn which will be up next week, so, in the mean time, here's what would have been next week's episode! You're going to hear my interview with Andy and Alex of Arizona's Take Over and Destroy (Facebook) who just released their third full-length called Take Over and Destroy. The band is influenced by old horror movies and you can hear that all over the new album from Andy's death rock vocals to the creepy keyboard passages. This is an appropriate album for the Halloween season and I hope you enjoy the interview!
